The wing is described as very pale

and just beyond the second radial cell. The female AR is given as 1.16, and
with “sensory tufts” on 3-14. The third segment of the palp is swollen with a
single large sensory pit; two spermathecae with short necks.
The male is unknown; the figure of the wing is from Tokunaga (1966).
